Mr. PowderIy on the Labor Party.

BosToE. June, l3.-Speaking of the Labor
party and its probable successes in 1888,
Mr. Powderly said: 81 do not know how
successful the party Will be in 1888, but
| believe it will keep on growing until it is
successful. Everything can not be &C
complished in day, and the Labor party
can not gain everything in year. You
know a good job can not be done in a
hurry. The only way to do is TO work
along slowly and patiently until the de-
sired result is obtained"
"Will you be the candidate of the Labor
party for President in 1SSS?" "No, en-
phatieally no." replied Mr. Powderly with
great decision; ''nor the candidate of any
other party"
What do you think of an Independent
Labor party?" was the next INQUIRY.
THAT is question which / have not the

The Home Club Breaking Up,

NEW YORK, June 13 The Home Club OF

caused so much trouble among the other
district assemblies of this city, is said to be

made yesterday, as the result of strong

Ladoga Considerably Worked Up.

LADoGA, June 12.-This thriving little
city is in social uproar over events which
transpired yesterday. The document
came as a surprise, and is still the choicest
bit of gossip the town has ever known. 1t

rest of L. Armstrong, editor and proprie-
tor of the Ladoga Leader, on warrant
sworn out by Mics Ollie Stamp, before JUS
tice Talbot, charging him with betrayal.
Miss Stamp was employed by Armstrong
as a typo, and the trouble began while at
work in the Office. She has borne an envi-
able reputation heretofore. Armstrong has
a wife and five children, and the disgrace
falls heavily upon them. He had become
quite poular, and his indiscretion has
caused social furore. He has given 5000

GO SLOW.

It is becoming apparent that most OF
the people who are protesting against the
even-handed enforcement of the Inter
State Commerce law are representatives OF
interests that have been favored unlaw-
fully and unjustly by the railroads. 1t has
been seen time and again with what ease
. railroad discrimination could build up
IN industry at one point. ruin an industry
ut another point, or crush one individual,
while it enriched another at the same point.
We have many instances OF this in the
West, but the most illustrious example of
this sort Of thing is the Standard Oil Com
pany on the one hand and the dozens of
ruined and impoverished refners on the
Other. Without the favoritism OF the
railroads there could have been no Stand
ard Oil Company as it exists at present,
and without the active hostility OF the
railroads dozens of ~refners which are
now closed. or are in the hands of the
monopoly, would have been iouri hing
and competing plants.
The proof that these determinations
have done all this is absolute, and the
inference that the same abuses have OBJ
tanned at other points, in a smaller degree,
10 . most natural one. The main object
OF National Legislation on this subject
was to break up all such corspiracies and
to prevent their recurrence in the future.
II the people are wise they will not insist
upon the repeal or the modification of the
new law until they make sure that the
present elamor against it does not emanate
from the very elements which the act was
to reach. It is well enough to go
in this matter.

MORTGAGED STATES.

Early in April the Chicago Inter Ocean
addressed letters to responsible persons in
Kansas and Nebraska concerning the bust
ness OF 134 companies organized for the
purpose of ~loaning money on real estate in
those two States. One question was:
What, in your opinion, is the largest per
cent. OF the present selling value which any
OF the said companies oar on farms?"
There were ~thirty-two answers to this, and
the percentages stated range from 33s to
more than 100. the average being some
where between 60 to Is per cent. Another
question was: What proportion of the
improved farms is in your county mort
gagged in any MANNER" The replies to
this numbered forty-seven. and they ranged
rom SO per cent. to nearly 100, the aver
age being fully IS per cent. There are
blooms" in Kansas and Nebraska. and it
would seem from the above facts that one
OF those days there will be crashes in these
States, when the poor farmers will not
have enough left to bring them West, |
